Sometime-how long or short the Lord knows best
In the swift cycle Of the coming years,
These hands shall lie still, folded on the breast,
Throbbng no more with earthly hopes or fears.
The dreams, the passions that oft thrill ms now,
And longings that near akin to pain,
Then sted forever, and the care-lined brow
The kiss of death shall smooth to youth again.
When all the weary toll with which we wrought
At our life's work, undaunted by defeat,
Falls from the ncrveless grasp, the goal sought
All unattained, our work all incomplete;
Count not Gods plan defeated in the life
He gave to us, all our toll in vain
Because we are not vlctors in the strife
who bravely fights and nobly bears his pain,
wrests victory from defeat. Not what we win,
But what we STRIFE for. doth the Master heed
If what sought to be we have not been,
Our striving may have helped another's need.
What though the web our hands shall leave undone
BE tangled, aud its pattern feebly wrought?
If 1t be finished by some stronger one,
The stronger soul may win the goal we sought
What though we grope and stumble in the way
The thorny way, by which feet are led?
Yet strive to walk uprighty and to lay
Foundation firm for other feet to tread.
If by our toll another's feet may rise
And climb the starry heights we fan would gain,
Into purer air and clearer skies.
Surely our work shall not have been in vain.
What matters it though we shall one by one,
Through the swift cycles of the coming years,
Fall out the ranks and leave our work undone?
Some soul shall reap what we have sown in tears

arranged place to have them worked

The fastest trotters that the world has
ever seen were from dams that did not

been even faster had they been handled

First Natural Gas Explosion.
iScribner's Magazine

When the Kanawha country was
first surveyed by Washington, numer-
Gus springs were found, which emitted
q mixture of brine and gas. For many
years later, the gas was used to heat
the evaporating pans at these springs,
for the manufacture Of salt; and when
new wells were bored, the gas was
sometimes elected to height of $50
feet, with q roar that could be heard
eight miles away. The gas still bubbles
up in the old Washington spring, but
the great gas tank which was built to
accumulate it for burning, was emptied
long ago. It is said that too curious
Yankee professor" wandering through
this region, tried an unlucky expert.
ment with the gas-hOlder. He applied
lighted match to q leaky seam, to
see if the stuff would really burn; his
success probably far exceeded his ex-
pectatiOns, for he not only burned up
the whole establishment, but almost
roasted himself, and arrived in Charls-
ton by stage, in q state which would
have made him an object of interest to
hungry Feejee.
Tradition relates that the owner of
the salt-wOrks, an eccentric old man,
when he was told of the destruction,
ordered his overseer to go down to
Charlston and have the Yankee pro-
fessor arrested, "if he had any sense"
and this provisO saved the unfortunate
experimenter, for the literal overseer,
having found the professor, said to him:
II have come, sir, to get out warrant
for you, if you have any sense; but if
you are natural born burned fool Pm
to let you CO." The professor-or what
! was left Of him--comprehended the
| situation and owned up, and the over
seer went back satisfied.

Hurry and worry, which usually go
together, ruin more lives and destroy
more happiness than any amount Of
regular, systematic labor. Any one may
prove this for himself by noticing his
own sensation after season of hurried
and agitated effort. The fatigue and
reaction tell forcibly on the strength
and vigor, and unfit him for subsequent
labor. Certainly life thus spent must
be short and unsatisfactory one. 1t
would be well for each one to bear in
mind that there is always time enough
for him TO do we'll all that he is called
upon to do at all. If he undertakes
more than this he does injustice both
to his work and to himself. On the
other hand, if he wastes the time which
is entrusted to him, let him not hope
to atone for it by extra haste and hurry.
When weahave learned to avoid wasting
time on the one hand and crowd
ing it on the other, we shall begin to
appreciate it's true value.
